Summary

Help us bring a new playground to 200 girls at When the Saints Girls Academy in Malawi. Many of our students have experienced abuse and trauma, and while we provide a safe place to learn and heal, our playground has very limited equipment. New slides, swings, and a seesaw will give these girls a safe place to play, exercise, build friendships, and simply enjoy being kids.

Challenge

Our school serves 200 girls, many of whom have experienced abuse and trauma. While we provide education and a safe environment, our playground has very limited equipment. The girls need a safe place to play, exercise, build friendships, and simply enjoy being children.

Solution

We will purchase two slides, a three-seat swing set, and a seesaw for our school campus. These additions will give all 200 girls more opportunities for safe, active play during school and provide a welcoming space where they can have fun, develop friendships, and enjoy childhood.

Long-Term Impact

The new playground will benefit approximately 200 girls for many years. Regular play can support physical health, social development, confidence, and emotional well-being. For girls recovering from trauma, having a safe place to laugh, play, and simply be kids can be an important part of their healing.
